## README

The files in this repository were used for analysis and visualization for the corresponding entitled [paper](https://gking.harvard.edu/covid-italy).

Contained in this directory are each of the `.R` scripts used to produce the plots ordered by their appearance in the paper. 

* `covid_italy_survey_{language}.pdf`: survey instrument designed over the course of 24 hours and fielded between March 18th and 20th.
* `mar18_responses.csv`: all responses to the above Qualtrics survey.
* `XX-*.R`: sequence of `.R` analysis and visualization scripts.

To replicate the plots used in the [manuscript](https://gking.harvard.edu/covid-italy):

1. Download the `.R` replication scripts.

2. Make sure to have R 3.6.2 installed. R Studio would be helpful also.

3. In your working directory, create a `/fig` directory. 

4. Run the `.R` scripts in sequence according to prefix `XX-` in R Studio. Plots will be output into the `/fig` directory.
